and Captures in South Africa in 1905. 329 
somewhat more orange in tint. Of Salamis anacardit, 
Linn., one of each sex was obtained; of Atel/a phalanta, 
Dru., a single example ; of Charaxes varanes, Cram., usually 
a high flier, a female was luckily netted off a shrub. 
Mycalesis safitza, Hew., was common; four males and nine 
females were taken. 
No specimens of Selenois severina, Cram., appear to 
have been brought back from Congella, but it was cer- 
tainly common there; of Bb. gidica, Godt., we took three of 
each sex, one had the hind-wings chipped symmetrically, 
apparently by a bird; of two specimens taken in cop. the 
male was dry, the female very dry. Of B. thysa, Hopff., 
we took six males, but we have no record of its model 
Mylothris agathina from that locality. Both these butter- 
flies have strong scents, which are distinct. Of Gluto- 
phrissa saba, Fabr., and Nychitona alcesta, Cram., single 
examples were taken; the latter has a slow, flapping flight. 
Of Eronia cleodora, Hiibn., we took two; of H. leda, Dbl., 
a single female; of Pinacopteryx pigea, Boisd., nine, four 
males and five females; of P. charina, Boisd., a solitary 
male. Congella is not the sort of locality that Zeracolus 
especially delights in, and the genus was represented by 
but single male specimens of 7’. achine, Cram., 7’. omphale, 
Godt., and three males of 7. speciosus, Wallgr. Of Terias 
reguiaris, Butl., we took four males and two females. 
Of Papilio demodocus, Esp., which frequents high and 
open ground, we took one in the cultivated region above 
the woods, but of P. nireus, Linn., f. lywus, Dbl., we got 
four males by taking advantage of its habit of not in- 
frequently flying low and even settling on the ground. 
Of Zizera lysimon, Hiibn., we took two; of Tarucus telt- 
canus, Lang, five, of which at least four were females, one 
with the fore-wings injured apparently by a bird; of 
Lycxna boetica, Linn., two ; of Castalius calice, Hopff., one, 
a tattered specimen, and of Virachola antalus, Hopff., one 
female, boxed off a plant close to the ground ; it was sitting 
head-downward, but the “ false head” had been bitten off, 
so that it could not deceive again. 
Among the Skippers were the familiar dingy Gegenes 
zetterstedti, Wallgr., two; Baoris fatuellus, Hopff., one ; 
Sarangesa motozi, Wallgr., one; Acleros mackenit, Trimen, 
one male and two females, this and other Skippers were 
more active on dull days than most butterflies; Hretis 
Uelele, Wallgr., one, settled with wings outspread ;
